Summary
Ryeland Gongora is an engineering manager with 11 years of experience building cloud-native, scalable systems and leading distributed engineering teams from San Diego. He has driven cloud migrations and platform modernizations—moving workloads to Fargate, Lambda, and ECS—while designing ETL pipelines using AWS Glue, Redshift, and GoodData to turn operational data into product insights. Comfortable both hands-on and strategic, he mentors engineers, shapes roadmaps, and optimizes for reliability, cost, and team velocity across workforce and HR integrations like Workday and Oracle HCM. His background as a CFA charterholder and former portfolio manager gives him a rare data-centric, product-minded perspective on engineering trade-offs. He’s delivered cross-functional integrations and traded off financial rigor for software velocity to reliably ship features in regulated contexts. Open to collaborations in infrastructure, product, or platform work that value long-term impact and thoughtful execution.
